TAMPA, Fla. -- Tuukka Rask and the Boston Bruins put together an all-around strong performance. Rask stopped 23 shots and five Boston players scored to help the Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-0 on Saturday night. "You want to win," Rask said. "You never want to let the team back in the game. Tonight, we gave them nothing and it paid off." Rask made a nifty glove save on Steven Stamkos point-blank redirection in the third period. It was the goalies first shutout this season and 17th overall. David Krejci, Adam McQuaid, Patrice Bergeron, Chris Kelly and Shawn Thornton scored for the Bruins, who have won six in a row against Tampa Bay. Boston leads the all-time series 50-20-9. "Everybody showed up from the drop of the puck tonight, and obviously it shows on the result," Bergeron said. With the game well in hand late in the third, Boston fans in attendance began chanting "Lets go, Red Sox!" One win from the World Series, the Red Sox were playing at the same time in Game 6 of the AL championship series at Fenway Park. "Not that I dont like you guys, but Id like to check out the game right now," Thornton said with a smile. "Everybody knows Im a fairly big Red Sox fan." The Lightning are 3-2 during a seven-game homestand. "The only thing good about tonight was, probably, the national anthem," coach Jon Cooper said. Stamkos called Tampa Bays performance "embarrassing." "They wanted it more, and it showed," Stamkos said. "Unacceptable." Krejci stopped a nine-game goal drought to put the Bruins up 1-0 from the low slot off a pass from Milan Lucic 1:32 into the game. Krejci has a point in four straight games. After McQuaid scored his first goal in 24 games at 4:37 of the second, goals 55 seconds apart later in the period by Bergeron (14:52) and Kelly (15:47) made it 4-0. Thornton extended Bostons advantage to 5-0 just 34 seconds into the third as the left wing ended his 29-game goal drought. Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop, who won all five of his previous games this season, was pulled after Kellys goal and replaced by Anders Lindback. Bishop allowed four goals on 17 shots. Lightning defenceman Victor Hedman finished the game minus-5. NOTES: Lightning COO Steve Griggs told a group of employees during a meeting in the stands before the game that the team is working hard to bring the All-Star game to Tampa and that NHL officials were present at Tuesday nights game against Los Angeles. ...

The Jets have now won three straight games at home, three of their last four overall and for only the second time this season they have won back-to-back games. The Sharks meanwhile are 0-1-4 in their last five. Dan Boyle opened the scoring for San Jose on a power play and, despite having been outshot 10-3 at that point, the Sharks were up 1-0.EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers found their resolve in the third period on Sunday. Jordan Eberle had a pair of goals as the Oilers snapped a four-game losing skid by holding on for a 5-3 upset win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. After staking themselves to a 3-1 lead after the first period, the Oilers started to fall apart in the second, allowing the Lightning to tie the game 3-3. "We were turning pucks over in our own end, it was the same old story with this team," Eberle said. "But as soon as they tied it, we found a way to get back to playing the way that got us the lead in the first place. Thats what won us the game." Taylor Hall, Luke Gazdic and Boyd Gordon also scored for the Oilers (14-26-5), who have won just three of their last 13 games. Edmonton, which has the second-worst record in the NHL, avoided its fourth five-game losing streak of the season. "There were certainly some shifts in the second period where we didnt play well, but for the most part our effort was good tonight," Hall said. "Our execution was good. There have been a lot of times this season where we have gone into a third period tied or in a close game and we just havent really played the way we should. Tonight was a different story. It was nice to see, especially against a team that is as good and as high in the standings as Tampa." It was the Oilers first win against a team above the playoff cutline in a calendar month. "We need to spin this into a positive," Gordon said. "Hopefully we can get things turned around here and start playing some winning hockey." Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Valtteri Flippula replied for the Lightning (25-13-4), who saw a five-game winning streak on the road come to and end. "I thought we owned that second period and we had a bad break for us on the fourth goal and then a good play by them on the fifth one," Hedman said. "Thats not the way we wanted to come out of this. We were carrying the momentum going into the third. Its obviously frustrating that we didnt play better in the third." Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop left the game with an undisclosed injury in the first half, something head coach Jon Cooper did little to explain after the game. "I have no idea," said Cooper when asked of Bishops status. "I dont ask, so I can look you in the eye and say I dont know, so I dont know. "We dont know, its hard to speculate. I dont know what the injury is, but I dont think its going to be major serious. I hope not anyway. But if it is, then (Anders Lindback) is a proven goaltender in the league and hell be fine, lets make that determination when we find out whats wrong with him. I think its way too early to speculate on whats going on." Tampa Bay started the scoring with a power-play goal less than three minutes into the ggame as Matthew Carle made a cross-ice pass to Kucherov at the left face-off dot.ddddddddddddKucherov beat Oilers starter Ilya Bryzgalov with a quick shot glove-side. Edmonton responded a minute-and-a-half later, however, as a stick got caught in the skates of Martin St. Louis in front of the Tampa net before Eberle could fish it out and lift his 13th of the season past Bishop. Bishop left the game after the play with what originally looked like an equipment problem. Lindback came in as his replacement, just as Alex Killorn took a double minor for high-sticking. Edmonton went up 2-1 on their second shot of the game, just past the six minute mark as an Eberle shot pinballed in front and was inadvertently deflected past Lindback by defender Sami Salo on a power play. It was Eberles second goal in less than two minutes after only scoring one in his previous 11 games. The Oilers took a two-goal lead with five minutes left in the first period as Gazdic tipped the puck past Lindback off a point shot from Justin Schultz. The Lightning started to rally in the second period and were rewarded for it just under nine minutes in as a stolen puck at the Oilers blue-line eventually led to a long screened-shot goal by Hedman. Tampa Bay tied it 3-3 with 5:35 remaining in the second period as Filppula hooked off the half boards and picked the bottom corner of the net with a quick wrist shot for this 16th goal of the season. Lindback kept the Oilers from regaining any momentum on a late second period power play, making big stops on Eberle and Gordon to keep it 3-3 after 40 minutes. Edmonton moved back in front eight minutes into the third period as Gordon did a good job to fight off a defender and swat home the rebound from his own backhand shot in tight. The Oilers went up 5-3 just past the mid-mark with the teams playing four aside as Hall made a perfect redirection of an Andrew Ference point shot for his 16th goal and team-leading 41st point of the season. Both teams return to the ice on Tuesday as the Lightning finish a four-game trip in Winnipeg and the Oilers play host to the St. Louis Blues. Notes: Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (broken right tibia) has begun skating in full gear but is still not ready to return to the team. However, the Lightning have persevered without their star centre, coming into the game with a 13-7-4 record while he has been outa Tampa goalie Bishop could be a big loss if he is out for long after his first period injury. Bishop earned his league lead-tying fourth shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Calgary on Friday and entered the contest against the Oilers having earned at least a point in 10 straight games (8-0-2) and allowing two or fewer goals in eight consecutive starts and 26 of 31 gamesa Defencemen Corey Potter (groin) and Philip Larsen (illness) are on Edmontons injured reserve.
